Driver CPC case studies: mock test and practice questions
Real-style scenarios with questions, exactly like the official CPC case study test. The first truck case and the first bus case are free.
What is the Driver CPC case study test?
Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is required to drive a truck or bus professionally in Ireland. After the 100-question theory test comes Step 2: the case study test. You read 3 scenarios from a professional driver's working day and answer 15 questions on each, 45 in total, in 135 minutes.
The pass mark has a catch: 28/45 overall and at least 5/15 in every single case. A strong total still fails if one case goes badly. Practising full scenarios, not just separate questions, is what prepares you for that.
